Thanks for teaching us how to play solitaires that doesn't require a table (or platform).
In browsing the very first game in this video (the one handed solitaire), I learned that it is rare to win (1 out 140 chances of winning). So maybe to increase the chances of winning, you have to change the top and/or the bottom card of the deck before you play.
You could take out two cards of the same rank (ex: ace of clubs & ace of spades) then shuffle the rest of the deck and place one of the cards you take out to the top of the deck and put the other card on the bottom. So that in the end you'll end up with 4 cards with the topmost and bottom most card that will be discarded and win the game.
And in playing, when the game tells you to discard 4 cards with the topmost or the bottom card included, you have to discard 2 cards instead or you might lose.
I've been using this for a while and I won maybe half of the games of the "one handed" solitaire.

i have a question about Decades. when we discard 2 or 3 cards, do we need to look back at the previous 2 or 3 cards? or do we just add 2 or 3 new cards to move forward? i’m curious because i noticed that we usually look back at the previous cards for one-handed Patience

I have a question! The first game is also called Bathroom Solitaire, but I haven't found anything on this yet.
All the last four cards are the same suit, but not the same rank. Would this be considered a win even though all four cards cant be removed at once? Or do you lose with two cards of the same suit?
